The Sting of a Bee.
Last week a man of the name of Taylor, residing at Glenleddock, Perthshire, was stung by a bee in the face. For some time no remarkable symptom was apparent, except that the inflammation which followed was attended with an unusual sensation of itching. This, however, soon brought on an uninterrupted fit of sneezing, which proved so painful and distressing to the poor man, that his family became alarmed, and sent off one of his sons to Comrie, for the attendance of a medical gentleman. In the mean time the fit increased with such obstinacy, that the poor sufferer sunk under it, and died in the utmost agony, before any relief could be afforded him. He has left a wife and family.
